[...] Brasserie, who happened to make the poutines featured in my poutine series I did last year – The Best Poutine on Davie Street. (LOL, looking back at those videos are fun… and funny). Nonetheless the meal was fully paid [...]

@Luc – Thanks for the offer lol!

@Dave D Davis – Actually authentic poutine is made with packaged poutine sauce not with actual gravy. I see where you’re coming from and for the most part I usually agree with you completely… but in this case I think it’s an exception for La Belle Patate to used a packaged sauce. it’s the only way he can present it as “authentic”.

I’m not too keen on any restaurant that uses packaged ingredients. If I wanted package ingredients I can stay home and do it myself–and I tried to use as few package ingredients as possible as the industrial food machine is out there to kill us with all the mysterious additives, etc. The chefs are just being lazy.

[...] So what is Canadian cuisine? Sure I could blog about poutine, meat pies, maple syrup, Nanaimo bars, and smoked salmon, but what fun would that be? Actually that would be a lot of fun, and in fact I did re-launch my search for the best poutine series on Canada Day last year – see that post here. [...]

Deebag – Thanks for your poo-tin comments The gravy at Fritz could be packaged, but they definitely make it their own by adding dried herbs and some spices to it. The poutine sauce from La Belle Patate is actually from a package and from Montreal too and it’s not gravy but poutine sauce… so it’s vegetarian!

Fresgo’s Diner? How have I never heard of this place? thanks for telling me about it!

i miss the 3 varieties of poutine at the now defunct Fresgo’s Diner on Davie.
there’s a no name brand poutine gravy/sauce sold in a can at Superstore that’s tastes palatable and surprising like gravy served at Fritz (hmmm, i wonder why?). but, there just something completely wrong with making this drunken late night treat yourself.

btw … it’s poo-tin, not poo-teen.

[...] Smokey Mo’s BBQ was my last beef brisket before leaving Austin, Texas. I already tried Salt Lick BBQ, Rudy’s and Smitty’s Market and to be honest I was really comparing the creme de la creme of beef brisket in Texas. None of them were disappointing, but of course there is always one that reign supreme. Surprisingly, I actually think I enjoyed Rudy’s “moist beef brisket” the most, even though I didn’t have it on this visit to Austin. Smitty’s Market was in close competition an Smokey Mo’s BBQ was to follow in my opinion.I don’t even have an obsession or huge love for beef brisket, but it’s THE Texan food so I had to go for the hunt… I do have an obsession with trying to find the best though.

Thanks for the link! Owner at La Belle Patat calls his “poutine sauce” and not “gravy”… He is from Quebec!
